Only in the LV, Montpellier are ahead in terms of their pre-season and it was the first game, we still have a month until the Exeter game. That side wasn't the best we could muster either, there was no Crane, Young, White, Staunton etc.TigerCam wrote:So, off to a brilliant start again - 3rd season in a row. Being devoid of many top players a 50 point stuffing may be seen more than once this season?
After about 50 minutes the entire team changed and only Twelvetrees, Allen, Woods and Hamilton played the 80, I think anyway the french commentators could not work out who was off and who was on as we had no numbers etc. Stanko and Brookes were pushed around and in the second half the scrum looked a bit more stable with Bucknall and Ocampo although Montpellier took their starting props off in the second half. Armes looked good as did Forsyth.mightymouse wrote:Can someone who watched it please tell me how much difference there was between the team initially published v the team who played and how many changes there were.
It the discriptions of the game mentions the likes of Ocampo, Armes , Forsyth etc and they are not in the team published.
I was suprised to hear the scrum was being shoved about if Stanko and Brookes were propping as published - however if some of the Academy/ Development guys were playing when that happened it is less of a worry
I don't think Murphy is out of the Ireland squad, all the media reported he would play for us as he was not in Ireland's match day squad and both Tigers and Ireland clearly want him fit. If Ireland don't pick him on Saturday I suspect he will be out of their squad but he has not been officially released like Chuter, Mafi and Waldrom.kingol22 wrote:Bad result but it is only pre season. Glad to hear that Tait and Murphy came through the game ok, is murphy definitely out of the ireland squad now?
Also how did Ford get on?
